INGREDIENTS
4 oz Tuna Steak
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame
1 medium Carrot, shredded
1/4 cup diced Cucumber
1 tsp Sesame Seeds
1 tsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 Lime wedge
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the tuna steak. Season lightly with a pinch of salt (if desired) and freshly ground pepper.
Spread sesame seeds evenly over one side of the tuna. Press gently to ensure the seeds adhere well.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a minimal amount of oil if needed.
Place the tuna, sesame side down, in the skillet and sear for about 1-2 minutes until the crust is golden. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes for a rare to medium-rare finish. Adjust timing as per your desired doneness.
In the meantime, prepare the rice bowl base by placing the cooked brown rice in a bowl.
Add shelled edamame, shredded carrot, and diced cucumber on top of the rice.
Drizzle low-sodium soy sauce and grated fresh ginger over the vegetables. Squeeze a lime wedge on top for a burst of citrus flavor.
Slice the tuna into thin strips and arrange on top of the bowl. Serve immediately while the tuna is still warm.
